Webgrader = The first assignments are being posted. Reading letters are a weekly assignment that I use to assess how students are thinking about reading. The first one is not graded, but you can check webgrader to see that it has been turned in. This week, the second reading letter is due by next Monday. Students should complete this in-class assignment in their spiral notebooks if possible. If you are curious what the goals are for this assignment, check the GLCE Short List link under Standards.
In math there is a Unit 1 test score and homework score.Unit 1 math test has been handed back and we have begun unit 2. Students recorded all the scores from the homework and the test. I am keeping the graphs in their portfolios for conferences.
Also, we are holding a parent technology night October 7th from 6-8 if you are interested in learning more about Webgrader, Study Island, and other resources.
